I do not think I have ever been so pissed off in my entire life. What the fuck was wrong with Ruby? How could she just destroy life so easily without a second thought. I had enough of this shit. I know what Emma wanted to do but I am not her. From that day forward I was going to do things my way screw what happens. My first objective was to find Ruby at all costs. She was going to pay for the deaths of these men. Tony walked into the room, walked right over to me and kissed me gently on the lips. I was a bit embarrassed since the room was full of people. I have never been a big fan of public displays of affections, however with Tony it was not so bad. Kyle interrupted me from getting lost deep inside Tony’s eyes. “The three men that survived said that the boy is there what are your orders.” I wanted to get that child away from that place as quickly as possible. “Tell them to rescue him but be very cautious. If there were mines there could be more traps.” Kyle nodded and relayed my or
I was frozen in fear and could not even open my mouth to speak. I knew Kenny was more than capable of pulling the trigger on his gun without batting his eye. I pissed him off, I own that but was this really necessary. “Hello dear. You seem confused as to why I would come here and put a gun on you hmm. Well let us just say I was given an offer I could not refuse. You see I tracked down Ruby for you and before I could contact you, she realized I was there. She offered me more money than I could ever spend to switch sides and join forces with her, so I did.” My anger at what he just said pulled me out of my frozen state. “Seriously? After what Emma fucking did for you, you are going to turn your back on her?” Kenny shook his head like I was missing some valuable clue. “Tsk. Tsk. I am not turning my back on her, you however, I owe no debts to. I am sorry it has to be like this, I really am. I like you Natasha, but I like my money more. If you have any last words, please say them now.” I
I was shocked Ruby called to ask me for help of all people. She was either out of her mind, extremely desperate, or maybe a little bit of both. I agreed to help her but only for Emma’s sake. Though I was not entirely sure how her relationship was with her uncle, I was almost certain that Emma would have gone after his attacker. I asked Kyle to send some men over to Ruby’s parents house to see if they could get a clue as to who may have done this to James Saxton. Meanwhile Kyle, Tony, and I would be going to one of Ruby’s safe houses hoping to find her or something to point us to where she was hiding out at. Even though she wanted my help there was no way she would let me know where she was at currently. Ruby asked for a temporary truce by saying, “I know the two of us are trying to kill each other, but my father is innocent. I have no one else who can help me with this matter. So can we put our differences aside for now and try to figure out who did this to him please?” I never pro
It made no sense to me why Dede’s husband would hurt Ruby’s father. In fact, I had no clue that Dede was even married. Kyle said his men were holding Todd in one of his many warehouses. We decided to go straight there to get to the bottom of it.We arrived at the location rather quickly. We did not waste any time and headed straight in. I saw a man sitting in a chair tied to it with ropes and zip ties. This man seemed like a hard fellow and I was not sure how easy it would be to get the truth out of him.I pulled up my own chair and sat directly across from Todd. “I am sure you are very uncomfortable being stuck to that chair, but if you answer my questions honestly, I will release you.” I said, but truth be told I was not so sure that I would. He nodded in agreement, and I asked, “Why did you shoot James Saxton? By the way in case you were wondering, you did not kill him, you just seriously wounded him.”Todd was furious that he was unable to kill Ruby’s father and he spat out in dis
I talked to Tanner for about twenty minutes. He explained to me that he wanted to take his kids and leave without Ruby knowing. After he witnessed her putting the cabin ablaze, he confronted her. She more or less told him that he could not leave her. If he did, she threatened to hurt herself, him, and their kids. He was scared that she would follow through with her threats so he asked me if I could help him disappear. If it was just him, I would have told him to figure it out on his own, but I did not want those innocent children getting hurt like Carter did. I told Tanner that me and a guy who works for me will be there to take them somewhere safe. When I got off the phone I went back into the house. “Okay everyone. First, we will head back to my house and reunite mother and son. Then Kyle, I need you to get a van and a driver so we can go get Ruby’s husband Tanner. He asked that we help him disappear.” Kyle looked at me with a confused look on his face. “Wait he is going to run aw
I tried my best to avoid her punch as much as possible, but there was not much I could do. Her fist slammed into my right cheek bone, the ring on her finger cutting me open. I tried with all my might to get Kenny off of me, but it was no use. Ruby continued throwing blow after blow to my face when all of a sudden, she was no longer in front of me. Kenny let go and took off I caught sight of Kyle out of the side of my eye. Kyle went running after them, but they jumped into a yellow mustang and sped off.Kyle came rushing back over to me. “Jesus are you okay? I was looking up some stuff on my phone and when I looked up, I saw the two of them attacking you. Fucking coward that bitch is needed a man to hold a girl down to hurt her.” Angrily I said, “No I am not ok! Those two pieces of shit got away.” Suddenly Kyle had a huge grin on his face, and he laughed out loud.“Am I missing something? What could possibly be funny at a time like this?” Kyle got a grip on himself befo
I was currently sitting in Big Henry’s Steak and Fries waiting for Don Anders to show up. He said that he was intrigued that I personally was asking his assistance in killing someone. Believe me I am not a bad person and the last thing I thought I would ever do is order a hit on someone, but I did not have many options available to me at that point.The waitress was just coming over to bring me my glass of white zinfandel when Don Anders arrived at the table. He quickly ordered a scotch on the rocks and took his seat across from me. He seemed to be in high spirits that day. I guess the act of committing murder warmed his cold villainous heart.“My dear, how lovely it is to see you once more. I am not one for idle chit chat so let us get right down to business shall we. Are you finally going to take me up on my offer to get rid of that vile wench Miss Saxton?” Don Anders said with a gleam in his eye.I could not stop myself from laughing out loud. “No sir this is not about her. Well no
“Okay Tony explain to me what happened.” I asked trying to wrap my head around what he just said to me. “Kyle told me he had been tracking Ruby’s movements and when she happened to be at one of her safe houses, I made my move to try and capture her and bring her to you, as a gift. Once there I tried to grab her, but she pulled a knife on me. I struggled with her a bit and wound up stabbing her in the thigh with her own knife. Sadly, she was able to escape after that. She had grabbed a nearby flower vase and smashed it into my head.” He said disappointedly.“I appreciate you trying to do this for me Tony, but you could have been seriously hurt. Next time please do not go off by yourself take me or Kyle or someone else with you.” I said agitated. I was pissed he put himself in harm’s way but also flattered that he did it for me. He had a tendency to make me feel both mad and adored at the same time. I continued, “Listen we are getting really close to finishing this for Emma. Just be pat
Three months later“Mother can you stop trying to make today all about you for god sakes it is my wedding day not yours.” I said to my mother for about the fifteenth time in the last five minutes. I was already nervous as all hell about doing this in the first place and as usual my mother was making everything worse. “Emma, I am not trying to make this about me. I was just saying how ignorant it is for my date to cancel last minute. It is just so messed up I deserve better than this.” My mother said with a scornful tone. I just sighed shaking my head knowing I couldn’t stop her from being the selfish creature she is.“Come on Miss White they are ready for you outside.” Natasha said scooting my mother out the door. I gave her a thankful look and went back to trying to calm myself down. Natasha walked over to me and put her hand on the small of my back. “It is going to be okay Emma. I know marriage makes your skin crawl, but you love Shane, and he really loves you. I don’t think I have
After I jumped on Ruby’s back everything seemed to be moving in slow motion but at the same time it felt like everything was sped up. I know, I know that seems really confusing, but it was like the world around me was one big blur of movement while it seemed to take me a lifetime to knock her to the ground though my guess is it took mere seconds.Three things happened simultaneously. Ruby fell, her gun went off, and I knew someone had been shot because I was now covered in red specks of blood all over my arms and I could feel them on my face as well. The smell of rust and salt invaded my nostril and made me feel queasy. I couldn’t let it get to me however or Ruby might wind up with the upper hand.I struggled to grab her arms and pull them behind her back. For a small chick she was stronger than she looked, not to mention I just had surgery and my incision from the c-section hurt immensely. Finally, someone noticed how much trouble I was having and came over and kicked Ruby square in
I knew I had to start talking to Ruby to try and distract her so Kyle could sneak up on her and take her out. “I am really glad you find your psychotic ways so amusing. I mean someone has to think you will get out of this unscathed and why not let it be yourself. After all you have been through so much in these past few months. You lost Shane to a better woman, you murdered your own child, lost your second family, destroyed your career, and so much more but hey at least you can stand there with a grin on your face and be completely content!”Ruby’s face turned into a scowl I guess she didn’t like her short comings being thrown in her face. That was good I wanted to piss her off, so all her focus was on me. She didn’t even seem to realize as I was talking that Shane, Tony, and Natasha started slowly moving away from each other and their current position to situate themselves around her so we could cover her in a five point angle. Ruby stood there momentarily at a loss of what to say to
Emma:“I know what you are going to say Kyle, but we have to go out there. After all we both know she is here for me, and I am afraid of what she will do if I don’t show up.” I said to Kyle trying to convince him how important this decision was. Kyle sighed and turned his head towards me. “I know you are right but that does not mean I have to like it. The only way I will be comfortable with allowing you to go out there is if you stay behind me understood?”I shook my head at Kyle in disbelief. “You know as well as I do that will not work. She will kill you without a second thought to get to me. Look I have a better idea. I know she is going to talk my ear off before she does anything at all. I want you to go back up these stairs to the second floor and make your way to the other staircase. Once there come back down to this level and come in through the other entrance. My cousin’s eyes will be on me, and she will not see you sneaking up on her. What do you think?”Kyle told me that was
We all began yelling at detective Morris that he just shot Detective Wilcox. “No, no, no! I did not mean it. Jennifer, please tell me you are ok. Jennifer, please answer me!” Detective Morris screamed out in desperation. I called out and said I was going to crawl over and check on her. He gave me the go ahead and I slowly began crawling over to Jennifer being cautious as to not make the detective trigger happy again.When I made my way over to her I first checked her pulse and looked for where she had been hit. “She is unconscious and has a very thready pulse. You struck her once in the chest and once in the torso. You need to get someone in here now to get her and Emma to the hospital. We also have a third person who is injured. He got struck with shrapnel when the explosion happened out the back door.” I said hoping he would understand how urgent this matter was.“Officer down, I repeat officer down. We need two more ambulances aside for the one for Detective Wilcox we have two civi
Of course, it would be her. Who else is psychotic enough to start a shooting rampage through a fucking hospital. I was positive she knew I was here, and she was looking for me. “Kyle, can you see anyone else out there?” I asked not really wanting to know the answer but knowing I had to. Kyle moved his head as far left as he could while still being able to see out of the small rectangular window. “There are a few people lying on the floor. It does not appear that anyone is hurt. Ruby is out there pointing the gun at people and yelling but I can not hear her through the door. Holy shit! This is so fucked. Miss Emma, I do not want to alarm you, but Shane Tony and Natasha are out there!Natasha:Hello again dear reader. I know I said you would not be hearing from me again, however when I wrote that we thought everything was coming to an end and that I would not have anything to tell you that Emma could not. We were very wrong on that front seeing as while Ruby came into the hospital firin
Kyle and I took an immediate left and half walked have sprinted down to the elevators. Not surprising they were turned off. It makes sense that they would deactivate them with an active shooter on the premises. It Would be harder for them to get to a different floor. We headed over to the door for the stairs and headed through. Neither of us knew exactually which floor the NICU was on, so we decided to go to the highest level and work our way down. Along the way we stopped so Kyle could smash the glass on the fire ax box that was in each stairwell. He took the ax and led us the rest of the way up the steps. We went through the access door once we reach the top and walked through. We found ourselves in a hallway with doors every six feet or so on each side. I walked up to one of them an read the plaque on the wall. “LAB NUMBER THREE: REASEARCH AND DEVELEPOMENT”. Since the entire hall had these same type of rooms, we decided this was the wrong floor and there were no patients up here, s
Dr. Marsh and i exchanged looks before he told me to go lock myself in the bathroom. like that was going to fucking happen! There was currently someone inside the hospital shooting at people or something of that nature. There was no way i was going to stay here like a sitting duck. I sat up and slid off the bed. I located a bag in one of the chairs with my cell phone, socks, and shoes. I pulled out and put on the socks and shoes than I tried calling Shane. The phone just went to voicemail. The same thing when I called Natasha than Tony. I figured I would try calling Kyle even though I knew it was a long shot since he just had surgery. I was very surprised when he answered on the second ring in a very hushed voice. “Miss Emma! You are okay! Thank the Gods. I would ask about the babies and your health but right now we got a problem. Did you hear those gun shots and those people yelling?” Kyle asked me in one breath. I rolled my eyes and said, “Of course I heard it. I’m in the surgery w
My eyes grew wide as the realization of what Dr. Marsh just said to me sunk in. two friends went into surgery and only one made it out alive! I knew one of them had to be Kyle. We did our best to make sure his wound was closed but as far as I knew he was the only one hurt. Who the fuck died! “Dr. Marsh. I only knew of one of my friends who was hurt so let us start with the good news first. Who made it out of surgery?”Dr. Marsh looked at me with pity in his eyes. I did not like the way he was looking at me it made feel uneasy like he was about to tell me my word was over. Which I guess could be possible if the person he told me died was Shane. It could not be him! I hated not knowing what happened and I could not take much more of this. If it was the love of my life, I do not think I would ever be able to bring myself to get out of the hospital bed.“Miss White, I apologize I thought you knew about both your friends. Who would you like to hear about first?” Dr. Marsch asked me sadly.
